Chapter 20: Made a Cuckold in Front of Everyone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Mingxiu was in a bad mood and had been daydreaming. Now that Feng Xuanmo had spoken, he returned to his senses and slowly said, “There’s nothing strange about that.”

“Mingxiu, what do you think Sikong Jin is doing here?” Feng Xuanmo asked, intrigued.

Lu Mingxiu’s tone did not change, “I heard from Brother that Winston’s parent company, Aisha Group, will open a domestic branch here. Since Sikong Jin is the chief designer of Winston, there are some tasks that he naturally needs to handle personally.”

Feng Xuanmo nodded while looking at an old photo of Sikong Jin.

In the photo was a woman by the sea. Her face was not visible, only the ring on her hand with the letter S engraved on it.

He didn’t know Su Qian before, so he didn’t feel anything when he saw this photo. But now that he had seen Su Qian, why did he feel that the woman in the photo was Su Qian?

Both Su Qian and Sikong Jin’s names started with an S.

When he thought of this possibility, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He and Sikong Jin were considered schoolmates. Back when they were still in school, Sikong Jin was already famous. The girls who pursued him could circle the sports field three times, but he did not show the slightest interest. He was the perfect gentleman.

At that time, everyone had thought that Sikong Jin liked men.

Now, he felt that it might not be that simple.

He coughed lightly to cover up the strange feeling and said, “Mingxiu, I heard from Tanjiu that Jiade auction house will be auctioning a new batch of goods today. Do you wanna go?”

“Sure,” he said.

… Feng Xuanmo was speechless.

He didn’t expect Mingxiu to agree, as he just casually mentioned it.

The Jiade auction house was the Feng family’s property, so Feng Tanjiu had reserved the best spot for Lu Mingxiu.

He looked at Lu Mingxiu in surprise, “I thought you weren’t interested in such events.”

Lu Mingxiu was filled with an inexplicable frustration, “I came out for a walk.”

Huo Jingyang looked at Lu Mingxiu in confusion, “Ming, who could make you angry…”

Feng Xuanmo faintly said, “Jingyang, who else do you think is living in Dijing Manor besides me?”

Huo Jingyang understood what he meant and was quite upset. However, he had already been taught by Feng Tanjiu to keep his mouth shut about Su Qian.

Lu Mingxiu glanced at Feng Xuanmo indifferently and said in a cold tone, “Xuanmo, yesterday, Master Feng came to ask me when I would let you go back to the Feng family.”

Feng Xuanmo immediately begged for mercy.

“Mingxiu, I’ll shut up. Don’t let the old man take me back.”

The Feng family’s power was somewhat related to the border. He didn’t like it since he was a child and was considered to have cut off all ties with his family. Now that he was living in Dijing Manor, it was quite good. At least his old man wouldn’t make him return to the Feng family.

At this moment, he suddenly saw two people not far away from him, and his mouth twitched.

“Mingxiu, are those two Su Qian and Sikong Jin?”

Everyone followed Feng Xuanmo’s line of sight and looked over with different expressions.

Not only was Sikong Jin the chief designer of Winston, but he was also the young master of the Sikong family.

The Sikong clan almost monopolized the global jade and jewelry market. Their wealth could even buy a small country.

He had even heard that a woman had offered herself to sleep with Sikong Jin and had secretly climbed into his bed, only to be thrown out by him without mercy.

Such a proud man was following behind Su Qian, and he seemed to be trying to please her.

They thought they were seeing things.

Sikong Jin followed behind Su Qian and smiled apologetically.

“Qian Qian, I heard that there’s a gemstone at the auction today called the Star of the Sea. I broke your jade, so I’ll definitely return you the most unique gemstone in the world.”

Su Qian found Sikong Jin’s incessant jabbering a little too noisy. She suddenly felt a few intense gazes on her, and she jerked her head up.

The room on the top floor had a few layers of bead curtains, so she could only see a hazy shadow inside. However, she could still recognize at a glance that the person sitting in the main seat was Lu Mingxiu.

She just wanted to say that she was really unlucky. Why didn’t she know that she and Lu Mingxiu were so fated to meet each other?

Sikong Jin followed her line of sight but saw nothing. He asked curiously,

“Qian Qian, what are you looking at?”

She retracted her gaze and replied indifferently, “Nothing, let’s find a private room to sit down.

After the two of them had disappeared, Huo Jingyang spoke first, “Ming, I wasn’t seeing things, was I?”

Lu Mingxiu’s face was cold and a little shocked, “You’re right, those two are Su Qian and Sikong Jin.”

Lu Mingxiu’s tightly pursed lips, tensed muscles, and sharp eyes all showed that he was furious.

The room, which was initially a little hot, suddenly became a little colder.

At this moment, Huo Jingyang didn’t even dare to speak.

His wife had gone to a private room with another man in front of him and saw with his own eyes that he was cuckhold. Anyone would be angry.

His pale, long, and well-defined fingers rapped on the table a few times. Lu Mingxiu hid all the dark and unclear emotions in his eyes and suddenly said in a cold voice, “There’s a surveillance camera in every private room in the auction house, right?”

Feng Tanjiu let out an “ah” and seemed to be unable to react for a moment. When he came back to his senses and realized what Lu Mingxiu had said, he quickly went to get his computer.

As soon as they connected to the surveillance camera in Su Qian’s private room, they saw Sikong Jin cutting fruit for Su Qian. Feng Xuanmo couldn’t help but sneer at this scene.

“If Sikong Jin’s fans were to see his elegant hands cutting fruit for Su Qian personally, do you think she would be criticized?”

Feng Tanjiu looked at the surveillance video, “I’m more surprised that Su Qian knows Sikong Jin.”

Feng Xuanmo pinched his index finger lightly, as though he was watching a good show, “Didn’t you guys investigate Su Qian’s identity?”

Feng Tanjiu was silent for a moment before he answered, “No, I didn’t.”

At that time, Su Qian and Lu Mingxiu’s marriage was a secret. They thought that it was just for fun, so they didn’t do any background checks.

Now, he no longer thought so.

Lu Mingxiu didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end. He just stared at the surveillance video.

Huo Jingyang, who was sitting the closest to Lu Mingxiu, shivered. He was seriously considering whether he should raise the temperature of the air conditioner.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jin cut up some fruit and placed it in front of Su Qian. Su Qian wasn’t polite and took a few bites before asking, “How long are you going to stay in the country this time?”

“I won’t be leaving for the time being,” Sikong Jin replied.

“Why?”

“Aisha Group is going to open a domestic branch, so I volunteered to be the head of the company,” Sikong Jin replied.

Su Qian furrowed her brows slightly and looked at him in confusion, “Don’t you only like designing jewelry and not managing the company’s internal affairs? Why the change of heart?”

When Sikong Jin heard this, he turned to look at her.

She was as nonchalant as ever, and there was a coldness hidden in her eyes. He knew that he could not get close to her no matter what, but even if it was like a moth flying into the flame, he still wanted to try.

“I’ll take over everything in the Sikong family sooner or later,” he replied. “I’ll be the head of the domestic branch. It’s just training in advance.”

She raised her eyebrows and did not say anything else.
